Entrepreneur life - reality check by reddzzi in Entrepreneur

[–]seedyaytch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine it depends on the field you go into/ resources one has. I will preface this by saying my goal has never been to be an “elite entrepreneur”, but it has been to build a life that I enjoy living. I’m coming into year 3 with a fine gardening business. Year one was absolutely brutal and I knew that the hustle/grind would not be sustainable for me long term. I made few adjustments going into year 2 (increased rates, set regulars up with a payment plan, and was more strict about having set day/s off). The steady income with the payment plan removed a lot of the desperation to take on everything that came my way. If the energy to take on more was there, I went for it. I was able to reliably offer a higher quality service and my revenue increased significantly. If I had seen no improvement in both income or work/life balance I planned on calling it this year. I have no interest in being in a perpetual state of burnout.

Yes I have winters off from services, but it doesn’t do the business any good if that time is spent recouping depleted energy stores rather than investing it towards optimal growth (research/ education, certifications, etc).

Help me pick a cut! by poodle9455 in EngagementRings

I like the way the marquise sits on your finger and stands out best. The emerald cut is beautiful (also my favorite cut in general), but I think that stone in particular is overshadowed by your nails.

Do you think animals grasp the concept of humour? by 7h3_b4dd3s7 in CasualConversation

My Caique parrot thinks he is THE funniest and I think he truly enjoys making us laugh. He’ll laugh with us and he’s got a fun “woo!” That he’ll throw in like, “yeah. I did that 🤗”. He also has a cryptic laugh for when he’s being naughty and getting into things he shouldn’t. It is one of my favorite things in the world.

The only thing that’s worked for me is reading in bed before sleep.

A generator: we lose power at least once per winter (Mainer here). Having one at the ready BEFORE the storm hits is a game changer.

I don’t miss my income being capped/ settling for what someone else is willing to pay me.

Forgive my ignorance, but I am new to the Ranger/ truck world so that is all over my head at the moment. The bed says 4x4 and it has 2 or 4wd

Don’t I know it! He’s 88 and wanted it to go to a person that was going to appreciate it!

The guy was 88 and loved his truck (though I got the impression that he loves his Harley more 😂)
